ARCHIVED Do You Ever Break Down And Eat Gluten Every Once In A While?
supersquatchy replied to supersquatchy's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I would probably never do it.. I just think about it sometimes because I DO miss those foods! I think it's the hardest when I go somewhere.. visiting my boyfriend at college for example.. and they have all of this amazing food that is being served that smells SO good and the gluten free section is just a fridge filled with some gluten free breads and muffins... -

ARCHIVED Do You Ever Break Down And Eat Gluten Every Once In A While?
supersquatchy posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I figured out that I probably have celiac at the beginning of the year. I am undiagnosed, my blood test came back negative (I had already been gluten free for a week.. I don't know if that's long enough to affect anything) and my doctor never sent me in for a biopsy. Since going gluten free.. nearly all of my problems have resolved. I had missed so much school... -
ARCHIVED Possibly Studying Abroad In France?
supersquatchy posted a topic in Traveling with Celiac Disease
I'm 18. On top of having celiac I also have a million other food allergies and intolerances. I am... Lactose intolerant Egg intolerant (So I'm basically a forced vegan because I'm also a vegetarian) Allergic to... All nuts, oats, pears, peaches, plums, celery, sesame, and a variety of other things. I carry an epipen.. many of these allergies are... -
I'm 18 and I was diagnosed with SOME sort of gluten issue early this year. It's probably celiac though the blood test came back negative.... my doctor didn't want to explore further and just told me to take gluten out of my diet anyway. Before I was having migraines, feeling tired all the time even though I was exercising and eating a pretty clean, healthy...

ARCHIVED Going To Dinner With My Boyfriend's Family.. I Have No Idea What To Do..
supersquatchy posted a topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I really need some help here. I've been extremely stressed all week because tomorrow, I'm going out to dinner with my boyfriend and his family for his birthday. We're both 18 and have been dating for a little over a month. I've met his parents but I'm being introduced to a million other people tomorrow and if that's not stressful enough... there's the MAJOR... -
ARCHIVED Cross Contamination, Sharing Drinks, Etc. And Trying To Explain This To People?
supersquatchy posted a topic in Super Sensitive People
I'm finding that I'm having a very difficult time being firm about what is okay for me to eat. I've been gluten free for a little over a month now. I've been feeling a lot better in the recent weeks.. so it's all starting to pay off. One issue that I'm running into a lot is how to deal with people who don't understand without sounding pretentious or obnoxious... -
I'm starting to get really really frustrated with what's going on with me. I feel like NO one is being proactive about this. Since I'm 17, nothing I say is valid.. my mother is completely misinformed and isn't going looking for the right things. Whenever I suggest something she just treats me as if I'm being paranoid. I've been "gluten free" for a little...

ARCHIVED Can Celiac Cause Other Intolerances?
supersquatchy posted a topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
I'm 17 and still undiagnosed. Lately I've been having more of what I think is a sensitivity to dairy than ever. I wasn't always like this. I always avoided milk just because it skeeved me out.. but I always eat yogurt and things of that nature. Lately it's been making my stomach gurgle A LOT. Or at leas that's what I think is making my stomach gurgle... -
ARCHIVED Extreme Brain Fog?
supersquatchy replied to supersquatchy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I believe that my doctor only checked my vitamin D levels.. which were low. When I got my blood drawn that day last week I recall only seeing three test tubes out of the corner of my eye (I didn't look completely because it freaks me out)... Do doctors only test for one vitamin per tube? Or does one tube address all the vitamins? If it's only one vial per... -
ARCHIVED Extreme Brain Fog?
supersquatchy replied to supersquatchy's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I'm actually getting really frustrated because my doctors don't seem compliant with administering more tests. As much as an endoscopy seems horrible and I've feared the 'cameras-inside-body' thing... I honestly want one done because this could be the reason why I've been SO sick for so many years. I want to ski competitively next year and I need clarity for... -
ARCHIVED Extreme Brain Fog?
supersquatchy posted a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
I couldn't decide what seemed like that best category was.. even though I'm technically pre-diagnosis.. I'm already in the steps to recovering because gluten is clearly an issue for me. I'm on a gluten free diet per doctor's suggestion. I'm 17, I suspect that I have celiac or at least gluten intolerance. I began homeschooling two years ago due to being... -
Should I? I've been starting to feel a little better not eating it... I was getting so sick it was to the point where I basically missed a month of school. I'm actually home schooled... (I think I stated that above?) because of all of this... because of all my health issues... so it isn't a HUGE issue that I missed that much school but its still a problem...

I know that there are a million posts like this, I hope it's okay that I'm adding yet another post of this nature. I detailed my history in a different post.. I'll just sort of summarize here. First of all, I'm 17. I had perfect health until I came down with an extremely bad case of mono in the spring of 2011. I believe this is what triggered whatever...

When I look at my profile it shows all my information; full name, phone number, and address. Is that available fore everyone to see!? I went to look at my profile settings and I couldn't find any way to hide it... So is it not visible to people who visit my page? Only me? I wish there was a "how others see your profile" option! Could someone answer quickly...

So the results just came in today. Negative. To be honest.. I'm really surprised. I was almost convinced that they would be positive. I'm honestly really frustrated because I was sure that this was the answer. It was the celiac test that came back negative, the gluten intolerance results haven't come in yet though, my doctor said that they should next week...

Oh my goodness thank you for the responses!! My thyroid results came in today and they're perfectly normal... The other test.. I suppose it was for vitamin levels.. came back showing that my vitamin D levels are pretty low.. I'm not sure of the exact numbers because my mother was the one who answered the phone. My doctor instructed me to take vitamin D...

Hi! I'm totally new here, in fact, I haven't even been diagnosed with having Celiac... yet. I went to the doctors and got a blood test yesterday, I think she ordered tests for my thyroid, something else, and Celiac. My history could possibly explain everything... I hope nobody minds reading a wall of text! I could just really use some advice and...
